Moral .ano Religious.
A Boys Influence.

Some time ago l attended religious
meeting, and at the close of the exer-
cises the audience was invited to par
ticipate in testimonies. A middle-aged
man arose and said, in substances " I've
been saved from intemperance by my
little boy" pointing to bright lad in
the audience. owe my conversion,
under God, to my own little son. Re-
ligion has made me a sober man and
helps me to live an honest, industrious
life. 1t was not always so. On one &C.
casion / was absent three or four DAYS
from my home and my poor wife and
boy were nearly broken-hearted On
the fourth day my dear child asked his
teacher to let him 90 home at recess, as
he was not feeling well The boy was
SICK at heart on my account. When he
reached home he burst into tears and
said TO his mother, | can't study in
school, can't sleep at night, my head
aches and my lips are parched praying
to God to send home father. Mother,
does God hear?' His mother strove to
comfort him, but her faith was begin
ming to waver, for through her married
life her unceasing prayer had been for
my reclamation. After wandering from
one saloon to another, at the end of the
fourth day l returned home intoxicated.
Did my boy turn from his drunken
father? No; he ran to me, clasped his
arms about my neck and wept tears of
JOY After his emotion subsidized. his
first words were: Father, | almost
feel | can never pray again, for God
has let you come home drunk The
words struck me to the heart, and
said: Don't lose your faith in God.
and your poor, miserable father will
never get drunk again. God heard
that promise and has enabled me to
keep it," This man is among the most
earnest workers in the temperance
cause to-day. He had lost all self
respect and had sunk very low, but
could not bear to see his child lose con-
fidence in God; therefore the boy be-
came the means Of the fathers reforma-
ton. The eXertions put forth on be-
half of children in temperance instruc-
ton will not be lost in the home. but
will produce lasting fruitage. -Selected.

Mrs. Holt Soon to Marry Secretary La
mar.
1t was announced at Macon, Ga, Jan 2,
that Mrs. Holts daughters had withdrawn
all opposition to her marriage with L. @. c.
Lamar the secretary of the interior, who is
still visiting his friend, w H. Ross, and Is said
that the marriage viii take place this week.
The secretary has kept we'll out of sight Of
the pubic, but he was greatly surprised
when he found that the newSp lpers had dis
covered his presence, for he Lad laughingly
declared to Colonel Ross that the newspapers
would be surprised when they should find
what march he had stolen upon them.
Their is an enterprising brass band here,
composed of number OF young men, pos
sessed of lusty lungs, which determined 10
seren lde the secretary last night. Anxious
that he should not be frightened by the un-
exp pocted blaro Of horns, the leader sent q
polite note informing Mr. Lamar of what
was in store for him The secretary was
thunderstruck. The idea of being made the
recipient of brass band serenade while on a
wooing expedition was entirely too ridicu-
lous, and he fled to the house of q friend The
band went to Colonel Ross house, unaware
Of the fight Of him whom it sought to honor,
and rendered a number of tunes.
Then the members called Justify for Lamar.
Of couse the Secretary did not respond. In
Stedu, IL DIDuut, ul6lilD5I VI SOuS ISoo3
whose services had been secured marched out
up on the ve;anda and announced that
the Secretary was out of the city
The band retired in good order, but much
disappointed. The Secreta'rys friends say
that when his marriage takes place the pub
lie will not be Informed, but it will take
place at Mrs Holt'S home in Orange street,
and none but the members of her family and
few intimate friends of the secretary will
be present.

brought to the temple in a square box. The
frankincense is taken out and sprinkled over
the Goals, and then the perforated cover is
put on, and they wait for the beginning
of the service. When they are all ready
all the covers are lifted from all the censers
and the ancient temple was filled with the
perfume 1t fioated up amid the arches, it
dropped amid the affairs. On the top of the

deemed bring their thanks and put them
on this censer. sLet the cherubim bring
theirs, let the seraphim bring theirs, let the
one hundred and forty and four thousand
bring theirs, let all the eternities bring theirs
and then I take these two censers and Iswing
them before the throne of God and the

great alleluia unto him to whom the wise
men of the East brought their gold and
myrrh and frankincense when the star that
they saw in the East went before them.

"Numerous instances have been re-
corded of late in the medical journals, ="
says Science, "of the complete reunion of
portions of fingers which had been cut
off from the hand, in some cases by the
knife, and in others by the axe. In one
case man, in cutting kindlings for the
morning fire, accidentally cut off the end
of his thumb. He had gone from the
place some twenty feet, when he returned,
picked up the end, wiped it and replaced
it, binding it in its original place as near
ly as possible. The wound united; and
the finger is now as good as ever, save
that its sensibility is somewhat dimin-
lshed. In another case boy chopped
off the ends of three fingers. He was
seen by physician three or four hours
after the accident. The ends of the fin
